CARPOOL MAX
Terms of Use
Last updated 2026-08-29
- Carpool Max is a shared schedule for one carpool group. It does not arrange, supervise, or provide transport.
- Your carpool is private to whoever holds its invitation link.
- Nobody is tracked. A driver can share where the car is while a run is on the road, and only then. It is deleted when the run ends.
- You can leave at any time, and the group’s admin can delete the whole carpool and everything in it.
What this app is
Carpool Max is a coordination tool: who is driving, who is riding, and where and when pickups happen. It counts the rides each family gives and takes so the sharing stays even.
It is not a transport, ride-hailing, or supervision service. Every driving arrangement is a private agreement between the families in your group. Carpool Max does not vet drivers, check licences or insurance, or verify anyone’s identity.
Your responsibilities
- You are responsible for your own children’s safety, and for satisfying yourself about any driver before your child rides with them.
- Only add a child if you are their parent or guardian, or have that person’s permission.
- Only share the invitation link with families you mean to give full access to the group.
- Keep what you see in the group — names, meeting spots, schedules — inside the group.
- Do not rely on the app for anything time-critical or safety-critical. Confirm with the driver if it matters.
Names and identity
Anyone who opens the invitation link can pick a name from the roster, with no password. That is what makes the app usable by a whole group in an evening, and it means identity is self-selected and only as trustworthy as the people you gave the link to.
Signing in with Google claims a name for that account, so nobody else can take it and you can open the carpool on another device.
No warranty
The app is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind. Schedules can be wrong, notifications can be late or never arrive, and the service can be unavailable. To the fullest extent the law allows, the people who make Carpool Max are not liable for any loss arising from your use of it or from any arrangement made through it.
Getting in touch

Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, the app will ask you to agree again.
